Francesco Farioli, coach of FC Porto, was elected coach of the month for December in the Portuguese League. The dragons' helmsman received 41.03 percent of the votes from his fellow professionals, according to the League on its official website. In the four matches played during the period under evaluation, the blue and whites recorded as many victories, with ten goals scored and only one conceded. The runner-up was... an assistant coach. Luís Silva, from Estrela Amadora, appears with 13.68 percent of the votes. This is because in the game sheet it is the assistant who appears as main coach, instead of João Nuno, the coach in fact. In five games, Estrela lost just one, against FC Porto. They drew with Sp. Braga and Moreirense. Third place was reserved for José Mourinho, from Benfica, with 11.11 percent of the votes.
